dear lauren: paintbrush

dear lauren,
mom told us to sleep in today.
we didn't.
i was lying awake in bed at about eight
and i was staring at the wall
thinking how much prettier it would be if it was painted.
i thought, i'm going to paint a mural on that wall.
not just any mural.
it will be of you and me.
i told you my idea, and you said you wanted to help.
i said sure.
you said while i'm getting ready to paint the wall
you wanted to paint a picture of a paintbrush.
that's really cool.
maybe today mom will let us start.
love, nicole
